Baltimore’s Finest

Oh, good ol’ Baltimore. How I miss you so…

A fan, not even trying that hard, is able to run around the Orioles field last night and avoid Baltimore Police for 2+ minutes before he finally gives up from bordem? Sounds about right.

I have a few competing theories as to why [...]

Your Response Is Needed

I’ve long argued with Wernick, The Great Wahl’s baseball editor, that his sport is a worthless. It is so undeniably boring and even more undeniably long. But he tries to defend baseball like a cornered, rabid dog. That’s why I feel compelled to call him out publicly. I want to hear his thoughts on [...]

Just got back from the Caponiti wedding in DC. It was a great time, and an even greater wedding. Everything was really well done, from the ceremony to the reception to the dance party later. And as the nun of the church reminded us before the wedding started, Christ was present (we were all [...]

This weekend brings us full circle from the Morton-Caponiti engagement announcement on this blog last year. I’m headed off to DC for the weekend for the wedding. The ceremony starts simultaneously with the USA-Ghana World Cup game. It will be tough to miss the game, but thank goodness for an iPhone to check the [...]

Yet another reason why Philly sucks:

Philly phans are desperate to cling to whatever little pieces of sporting glory they have. And the Florida Marlins Front Office is genius for trying to capitalize on these poor souls.

They are selling tickets to a game that has already happen. You can now buy [...]

Wernick, Senior Great Wahl Antagonist

(Editor’s Note: Please read the following post as if hockey, Philadelphia, and/or Boston actually matter. Also, the first ever post with a footnote on The Great Wahl.) ——————

Hello sports fans – unfortunately, The Great Wahl has neglected to provide its readers with some of the great sports [...]

A Man of the People

By now, everyone has heard of and/or seen the 17-year old kid getting the raw end of a taser for running onto the field during the Philadelphia Phillies game earlier this week. Apparently TheGreatWahl.com has gained quite a reputation for hating on Philly, because I have so far gotten no less than 14 emails, [...]

Tough Road

The non-called face mask penalty that ended our 2009 hopes.

Wernick used to be a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan. Then he finally “saw the light” sometime after their 4th NFC Championship loss and dumped his interest of the entire NFL and has become a hardcore baseball fan ever since. I think it probably has something to do that he’s completely whipped by a big [...]

The 2010 running of the Boston Marathon took place yesterday. And I’m proud to say that a couple of regular Great Wahl celebrities ran really well. They aren’t Ethiopian or Kenyan, so they didn’t win. But Tony and Julia definitely held their own:

As a frame of reference, Cheruiyot is the overall male [...]

Phildelphia Blows

On a typical day, Philly sucks. I thought the city was trending up, now that the Eagles have gotten rid of Good Ol’ Donovan McNabb.

But yesterday, the city of Philadelphia was elevated from just regular suckage to blowing…chunks, quite literally:

PHILADELPHIA — A New Jersey man is facing charges after police say [...]
